Woooooo Hoooooo gas prices dropping


Okay maybe I am jumping the gun here. But if I recall correctly the price at the pumps jumped up virtually at the same time the price of oil started to climb. I am assuming now that oil has dropped below the $60 dollar a barrel mark that gas prices will follow the same line. It's only fair right?

Light sweet crude for December fell $1.46 to settle at $59.76 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the lowest close since July 28.

Front-month heating oil futures fell 7.37 cents to settle at $1.7698 a gallon, the lowest level since Aug. 5, while front-month gasoline futures dropped by 9.81 cents to settle $1.5261 a gallon, the lowest level since June 8.

Natural gas futures declined 85 cents to $12.205 per 1,000 cubic feet.


Who the hell am I trying to kid. Whoever said "what goes up must come down" never had to deal with oil and gas company's.

Very strange, they DID drop, didn't they?

Tim said...

Yup they did. A whole penny per litre from what I saw driving around today. What a break!

Candace said...

Yes, but considering we were paying well over $1 in the summer, overall, let's not b*tch too loud.

Tim said...

Yes but we were paying below 80 cents a litre prior to the massive hikes. Time will tell....
